TYNE Bank Brewery Pacifica Pale is set to hit bars this weekend – almost a month and a half after it’s planned launch.

The beer, a four hop 4% light citrus flavoured pale ale had been due for the North East’s pubs – starting with Redhouse in Newcastle, where it was to be paired with a special edition lamb pie from Amble Butchers – back in January.

But after re-brewing the beer due to pre-launch aroma problems, it is finally arriving in time for Easter.
